When time is tight, structure wins. Our 4-, 8-, and 12-hour meeting arrangements give you a clear framework, built-in hospitality, and the right tools to keep every minute focused. From unlimited coffee and tea in the adjacent foyer to a dedicated host and essential AV, each option removes friction so you can maximise productivity from kickoff to wrap-up.

Practical tips to get more value from your arrangement

  1. Define outcomes first. Align duration (4, 8, or 12 hours) with decision points and deliverables.
  2. Match the room to your format. For fast-moving discussions, a boardroom setup can help. For co-creation, consider spaces that suit cabaret or classroom styles listed in the Capacity section.
  3. Use the foyer strategically. Unlimited coffee and tea in the adjacent foyer is perfect for informal touchpoints between sessions.
  4. Build in cognitive breaks. The All-in versions add structured morning and afternoon breaks that help maintain energy and focus.
  5. Leverage the technical kickoff. Use the provided technical support at the start to test slides, sound, and screen sharing so you begin on time.
  6. Keep essentials at hand. The in-room meeting toolkit, notepads, pens, and Original water reduce interruptions.
  7. Finish with dinner when alignment matters. The 12-hour Basis arrangement’s three-course choice menu creates space to consolidate decisions and strengthen rapport.
  8. Make it a journey when needed. For multi-day goals, move up to the 24- or 32-hour arrangements to add an overnight stay with breakfast and sustained structure across days.
